Wednesday I was thankful for mini pumpkins!! On the way home from work, I stopped at a farmers market and found the cutest little pumpkins! They were only a dollar and I got a bunch to take home and decorate for fall! I put up all my fall decorations this week so now it is officially fall! :) Plus my awesome mom got me a fall candle! I absolutely love Yankee Candle’s fall candles…I wish I had a bubble of Yankee Candle’s “Kitchen Spice” around me all the time…I feel like the world be a better place if we each had a scent bubble :)
My cute mini pumpkins!!
How cute is that fall wreath?! :)
Thursday I was thankful for my night job. I love working at the carriage company in the evenings. I get to be around horses, I get to hang out in a warm office, I can wear sweat pants to work if I want :) and I have time to do my homework. It is such a great job for a college student, and not only do I have one awesome job, but two!! Man, I am so blessed!
Friday I was thankful for my first paycheck from my new job! Wow…was I ever thankful for that! :)
Saturday I was thankful for a group of women that I got to spend the morning with. I was able to go to a luncheon for a very close friend to celebrate the upcoming birth of her first child and some really awesome and godly women were there. I can not put into words how thankful I am for the women that were there. I am so blessed to be a part of their lives and blessed that God has given me such amazing friends with unbelievable passion, love for the Lord, talent, wisdom, strength, and laughter!! I was so glad I got invited to be a part of my friend’s special day and I can not wait to meet her daughter!!
Today I am thankful for the thirst I have felt all week for fellowship, teaching and worship at church. The Holy Spirit has been moving this week in my heart and I am so thankful for that longing and that desire to be with other believers and to hear the Word of God. It is so important and I am thankful that church does not feel like an obligation, but rather like a longing. I WANT to go to church, I WANT to cry out to God in the midst of other believers, I WANT to sing praises to my God, and I WANT to hear what the Lord is teaching me through my pastor. I am so blessed by my church and the people there. God is doing big things in and through that church and I am thankful I get to be a part of it! God is good! Amen!! :D
